Fabulous experience, a spoil for our family and you met all our expectations and more. Thank you for making us enjoy the bush form a “6” star point of view. We will always have a quiet giggle when we see the zebras. Awesome memories and lovely friendships made.

Thank you so much for the absolutely phenomenal stay and treatment here at The Bush House. We were treated like royalty and we had everything we could ask for. The game drives were stupendous- we saw all of the Big 5.

What a wonderful time we had. From seeing the magnificent 7, the friendly and hospitable staff, the hide, the warmth. A relaxing and charming place. Everyone went out of their way to make Adam’s birthday special – picnic in the garden with cake and balloons, dinner in the boma with a happy birthday performance. Gregg, our ranger, was excellent and so kind to our kids. We will definitely be back.

Dear Sue,
We stayed at your place on 16th May - unfortunately just one night.
Just a quick note to say that we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Your staff are very nice and the Bush House is just magical. I can honestly say I shed a quiet tear when I left.
Hope to be back one day.
Thanks.
